I am reading .dbf files using Microsoft ACE OLEDB. I always get the following error when I try to release the application:

path name : could not find file.

However, the process works on the local version. Here is my connection string:

Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=\"\\\\Sv050r03c01dcp1\\Public\\Groupes\\Dbmgs\\Applications légères\\FiMun\\Données\";Extended Properties=dBase VI;

The permissions on the folder have already been verified. It is server side, can someone give me things to verify on the server?

According to ConnectionString.com the connection string for the ACE.OLEDB should be in the following format,

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\folder;
Extended Properties=dBASE IV;User ID=Admin;

Also, I am not sure if it's a typo but your connection-string's Extended Properties should be IV, not VI. The versions I have heard of are dBase II, dBase III, dBase IV, and dBase 5.
